[Might as well ask, since Daylight sounds perhaps wistful but not upset.
It's certainly not unusual where he's from, for extremely unpleasant reasons involving violence and slavery. Many children grow up with their parents, but many are orphaned. His situation is unusual for its own reasons, but not because his parents died when he was a child. That part is more common than it should be. It's why his role as a Marine protecting villages and islands of peaceful townsfolk had been so important.
But there's so much he doesn't know about Daylight's world. Maybe he'll be alright with talking about it.]
